Ohia cafeteria is a spacious campus dining center located at Kapioloani Community College. The cafeteria is open to the public, and offers a wide selection of food and beverage items at decent prices.
The cafeteria itself is staffed by students who are participating in the culinary arts program, from which i heard is quite an intensive program, but also gives the students the option of studying culinary arts at one of the most renowned culinary schools in the U.S.
Some of the highlights:
COFFEE CORNER- Upon my last visit to the coffee station, i noticed they began offering espressos and cappuccinos. There are also several pastries on display, which are extremely tempting.They also have regular black coffee, and tea.
HOT ENTREES- This is the money maker! for those who are looking for a balanced meal, check out the hot entrees section. There is usually a portion of carbs, protein and veggies to keep you fueled throughout the day. Check out the website for a look ahead to see what's being served daily. http://culinary.kapiolani.hawaii.edu/ohia-cafeteria-and-coffee-corner/
The BEEF BURGINION is a winner here. the chunks of beef and gravy, smothered over a scoop of brown rice and a side of green salad make me want to spend the entire day just in the cafe. I think regular plates usually run from $5-6
SALAD STATION-If your looking for mac or potatoe salad you may be looking in the wrong place. Make your own out of the great selection of veggies, or grab some pre-made salad. The pre-made salads are quite healthy, they are usually flavored with a bit of spice or seasoning, with the option of adding one of the assorted dressings. There's a scale at the end of the salad station so you can weigh and know about how much will be charged per lb.
